Today’s TDC says:
13th September is Roald Dahl Day. Make some art to celebrate this day – maybe a gif from one of his films, or a poster made from a quote from one of his books.
I chose a quote from the MinPins
“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”

and found a gif I did a few years ago of a horse turning into a unicorn.

Today’s TCC has an image of the unicorn from the Lion and Unicorn staircase at UofG (no surprise, as I set this TDC). As ever, I have this poem in my head:
The lion and the unicorn
Were fighting for the crown
The lion beat the unicorn
All around the town.
Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum cake
and drummed them out of town.
So what skills would a unicorn have? The patience to wait till the perfect time to oust a pretender, maybe? And charm, of course, to appear sweetness and light. But watch out for that horn – it can do serious damage!

The lion and the unicorn were fighting for the crown …
A pause in my day to think about today’s Feldgang. The noise of the stonemasons reminded me that this staircase is being repaired.
The lion, of course, stands for England; the unicorn for Scotland.
Yet again we need to fight. While there is an imbalance of power, our two nations will never be friends. I think this might be beyond repair.

Today is National Unicorn Day. Yes, really. Some of you might know that the unicorn’s Scotland’s national animal. And in these dark, uncertain days, I think we need a miracle to see us out of Brexit, out of te UK, out of austerity.
Here’s our national animal standing proud on the steps of our Uni chapel.
Happy Unicorn day, all
